In the Porsche 911s long and glorious history, the moniker RS (German for RennSportor Racing Sport) is among a separate class of 911s, specially built cars made for the road but may be changed racing configuration with only a few modifications.

The first of 911 RS models appeared in sports car racing in the early 1970s, made famous by Brumos Racing of Jacksonville, Florida. The Brumos Racing team of Hurley Haywood and the late Peter Gregg won overall at the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring (with Dr. Dave Helmick) in 1973, carving the legendary team and driver’s legacies in American sports car racing and the 911 RS as a competitive force on race tracks around the world.

The modern incarnation of the GT3 RS has won important events such as class victories in the American Le Mans Series, first overall at the 24 Hours of Daytona and seven overall victories in the Nurburgring 24 Hours. The cars also compete in the one make national and international GT3 Cup series as support events for Formula One Grands Prix around the world.

In 2006, Porsche introduced the 997 GT3, a track inspired model featuring a trick suspension, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), effectively the first Porsche model to feature an electronically adjustable suspension which continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on current road conditions and driving style.

In all, only 917 911 GT3 RSs were delivered to the U.S. market and, naturally, Porsche’s famous 3.6 litre flat six engine which develops 415BHP is mated with a six-speed manual gearbox. Very much a serious driver’s car with all the added on race-inspired bells and whistles such as the gorgeous carbon fiber rear wing, the GT3 RS accelerates from 0 to 60MPH in 4.1 seconds and achieves a top speed of 193MPH.
